The Ceremony was held at the Soiree Deck, Sofitel Brisbane Central. Stunning red blooms lined the aisle and arbour.
The couple said their vows in front of family & friends.
The history of a tea ceremony - the tea ceremony sees the newlyweds serve tea containing either two lotus seeds or two red dates to the groom’s family. The family are served in order, starting with the groom’s parents before progressing from oldest to youngest. After each family member takes a sip of their tea, they offer the couple a red envelope with money or jewellery inside.
Brisbane's beautiful architecture makes the perfect backdrop for Wedding photos.
For all the things my hands have held the best by far is you….
Even in modern Chinese weddings, the couples can take great liberty with choosing a Western-style ceremony, but the banquet remains a heavily-traditional affair out of respect for their parents and families.
Both sides of the family come together to host a bright and colourful celebration that usually includes between five and 10 courses for the main meal, filled with highly symbolic foods.
Let there be cake!
“Thank you again for making our modern Asian wedding at the Sofitel Brisbane such a memorable and enjoyable event for us and our family. The day absolutely surpassed all our expectations, your guidance throughout all the emails and meetings pre-event and all the behind the scenes efforts on the day together with the Sofitel team was such a credit to your skills and years of experience- everything was beautiful and perfect”. Siobhan & Dan.
